Will Miller
Our Body Event Manager
I am currently working towards an MRes looking into antibiotic resistance and whether poor use of veterinary antibiotics on farms could cause treatments in hospitals to be less effective. I’m really excited to engage with the public about this as I think there is a lot of misconception in this area!…
